Celtic were linked with Jenz last summer but the player joined Lorient. After a season in Ligue 1, Jenz made 18 appearances as his team battled relegation. The player will be wanting first team football and the opportunity to compete for trophies and play in Europe will be a huge draw for the player.
Jenz currently has four years remaining on his deal and it appears that Celtic are being careful in this deal, perhaps learning the lesson from the Albian Ajeti deal. This is a model that the club have had success with recently with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota.
The club are close to concluding a deal for Aaron Mooy on a year-long contract with an option for a further year, should both the player and the club be contented with the veteran midfielder’s output.
